I'm not new to modern fobs, but I just bought a '23 CX5 last night and cannot figure out how to open the fob to get the key. I asked the (worthless) salesman if it had a mechanical key inside and he said yes, but didn't show me how to get it apart and it got forgotten about in the insane 2.5 hours I spent there picking up the new car. I spent, literally, 30-40 minutes signing my name on endless documents.
He also "forgot" to include the all-weather floormats that he promised.
The entire experience was the worst in my life (
West Herr Mazda of Canandaigua NY) of ever buying any vehicle.
And now I have to search around the internet to find out how to extract the key in case I ever need it?
The end game: Self driving cars with no steering wheel, no pedals, no keys, no brains, they will all look the same, won't matter the brand, they will all have the same components except for the emblems. I wonder if that old '65 Chevy Impala 283 I had is still around somewhere?
EDIT: Also, what is the "Hold" button for? I'm afraid to press it.
